. Criminal law. New trial. Before Judge Rice. Oconee Superior Court. November Term, 1875. Report unnecessary.

1Opinion of the Court

Bleckley, Judge.

There is no error in the record, except as to the newly discovered evidence. In respect to that, while we are not entirely convinced, we deem it best to treat the case as special and peculiar, and give it the direction indicated in the headnote. Human life being involved, we do not feel quite warranted in denying a new trial on the state of facts.

Judgment reversed.
